Casey Joyce

James "Casey" Joyce (August 15, 1969 - October 3, 1993) was a U.S. Army Ranger who served in Mogadishu Somalia. He was one of 18 American soldiers killed during the Battle of Mogadishu. Joyce, like fellow Ranger James Cavaco, was killed on the convoy that originally was part of the extraction convoy; until it was told to split into two groups. The first convoy, which was under the command of Sgt. Jeff Struecker, was told to head back to base after extracting the original two targets of the raid, along with twenty other Somali fighters. The second half, was to go straight to the crash site of the downed MH-60 Black Hawk Super 61. However, due to the verry narrow, mazed, and sometimes similar looking streets, Joyce's convoy was ambushed just behind the Olyimpic Hotel on the first right turn. Joyce was killed after being shot in the back by a Somali militiaman.
